Travel Assistant MCP

No-key travel assistant for Claude Desktop, Codex-style agent workflows, Hermes, and other MCP clients. It helps agents look up airports, compare routes, explain travel timing, and build external booking links without requiring a travel API account.

Features

• Look up airport metadata by IATA code

• Compare alternate origin and destination airport routes

• Explain booking windows, airport arrival timing, layovers, and seasonal travel factors

• Build external booking links for selected routes

• Run locally with no API key or account setup

• Disclose commission-eligible links in tool output

Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "travel-assistant": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@forgemeshlabs/travel-assistant-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving the config, then ask Claude to plan or compare travel routes.
